Unfortunately I doubt this will happen as the requirements to be considered "qualified" will simply be adjusted as required to fill the two front seats at the cheapest cost.
Agreed, sadly I think single pilot airlines will be the industry's answer to pilot shortage (if/when we really do see a shortage). The article shows how FlyBe has taken a more organic approach to creating highly trained employees, but would that catch on here in the states?
